[Friendly Confines]

What is that weird orange thing Bonifacio puts on his hand when he is on base?

[Andy]

Darwin Barney might actually be a Gold Glove candidate. He's awesome out there.

[El Duderino]

unreal play by barney

[mul21]

That was a great play to pick that ball up and make the tag by Barney.

[haubrich91]

Shark might not last long with 65 pitches through three innings.

[Schwarber Fan]

I hate the Marlins... Carlos Lee just makes it worse

[El Duderino]

0/5 on line drives

[Fred Hornkohl]

I hate the Marlins... Carlos Lee just makes it worse

 

I hear the Marlins aren't real fond of you, either. :wink:

My God Geovany Soto is a joke.

[DiamondMind]

My God Geovany Soto is a joke.

 

It's funny, my friend immediately makes a "he's high" joke, and then Kasper uses the word paraphernalia in a sentence.

[Schwarber Fan]

I hope we're trying to sell Soto

[El Duderino]

I hope we're trying to sell Soto

 

yeah, I'm sure there's a lot of teams looking to buy Geo.

[DiamondMind]

As much as that sucked - I'd rather it's a honest mistake like that than a mental lapse I guess.
